S/o. What music do you play when you eat

[Saint Monica]

?

[rosiebear]

None. We play music or a podcast while we make dinner, but just talk during dinner.

[hungrycaterpillar]

Lately? Punjabi radio. My husband Indian and he's trying to expose S to as much as he can.

[agnes]

None. I almost always have the TV on.

Same here. Morning news in the morning, and Netflix with dinner. We're lame. 

[definitelyO]

none - no music, TV, or devices during dinner.
except for a dinner party - then I just pick a Pandora station for background.

[WOUNDTIGHT]

We listen to classical if we want background noise (eating, in the car, etc).

[Deleted]

Pandora. Usually the Grateful Dead station no one objects to.

[cereal K]

Whatever Pandora station H picks (unless I have a request or C asks for Kidz Bop). It's low enough to be background noise but still talk over.

[thejen626]

I put on Pandora, usually it's the Britney and Iggy Azalea station, or Bruno Mars station. Loud enough to hear it but not too loud to talk

[terpsfan]

Pandora- Mumford, Avett Bros, Lumineers or Old Crow Medicine Show channels

[calle28]

We usually have the TV on in the background ans talk.

This.

[midnightrae]

We usually watch TV (netflix or Youtube) while we eat. Sometimes we listen to a record.

[pantsparty]

Pandora stations. Lately it's been Jimmy Eat World and Muse. Sunday brunches are always the Etta James station.

[crazycakes]

I have the 90s Music Choice channel on most of the time. Sometimes I'll mix it up with classic rock or classical. Oh, and sometimes the Hamilton soundtrack when DD requests it.

[luckyval]

Some sort of classic rock, but it's all over the place. It could be Peter, Paul and Mary, it could be Cake.

[BillyJoelLover]

When we eat 0 music, because I like to have everyone at the table (cell phone free) to communicate.

While cooking I have an Ed Sheeran pandora station I've created that also plays 40's and 50's Jazz like Ella Fitzgerald or Nat King Cole. It's wonderful! One minute I'm listening to John Mayer and the next song will be The Glenn Miller Orchestra.

[Deleted]

None. We talk to each other.

[pantsparty]

Do people really think having music on prevents them from talking? It's not like, the level of volume at a club. LOL.

I listen to Alex whining that the dog is smelling her. Or near her. I'm not immune with just one kid lol

[cabbagecabbage]

The sound of my family arguing over My Little Ponies vs a grownup show.

My boyfriend is a musician so when he listens to music it definitely interferes with talking! He warned me at the beginning that he can't have sex with music on because he's too distracted with analyzing the music lol. When he gets new records I avoid trying to talk to him or being in the room while he plays them ha.

[winnied]

Usually a playlist or Pandora station. Lately we've been listening to our Hipster Cocktail, Into the Mystic, and Miles Davis stations.

Yeah, that is weird to me. I almost always have background music on. It's at a reasonable volume. It does not prevent conversation.

[acr]

Usually it's something like our Amos Lee pandora station, but occasionally I'll put on music to match the mood of the food (Italian, beach music, etc)

[papie]

Usually nothing. Every once in a while, we'll put a CD in. Yes, we still listen to actual CDs.

[themysteriouswife]

Depends on who grabs the remote first. H will put it on throwback or R&B or metal or classic rock. Allie turns it on hits or pop rhthymic. I don't care and let them fight it out. If we are using the wireless speaker is a shuffle on a playlist. Again, it's whoever gets it first.
